the car is so highly priced because they have to make a profit on it somehow.. people hardly understood the rx7, how will they understand the rx8.. and if they even have the money to buy it in the first place they'll have enough money to fix it up, as it is with most other cars... its all in preference and everything has potential.. high standards for comfortable interior, attractive looks.. if you cant appreciate it then walk away.. highly engineered and technical.. no matter what youll see it on the streets and be disgusted and rude toward the driver and car and be judged as you present yourself. wont ever take the time to understand that possibly it is worth your time. but if youre so closed minded about it.. why waste your time arguing about something that is all opinion based.. you fail to take in the information that these people are presenting to accurately make your decision..
